Now that the Christmas Craziness and Family BS is over with, it's time to get down to what really matters, Wargames, Miniatures, and Painting!!!
First up today is a unit that I first primed up probably 3 or 4 years ago for a challenge and they have sat primed black hiding in shame in the back of the closet since then. They are the germans that came with the second edition of Bolt action, that I have always meant to get around to, but never have. There are more coming as I think there were 30ish in the box, so expect another few units over the coming days/weeks. Since these have sat primed and waiting for so long I am counting them towards the First Circle of hell, Limbo for a bonus 20 points.
They are painted mainly in German field grey, with grey pants and an almost black helmet. They are a pretty basic paint job, but it works at a distance. I also decided to base them with small yellow flowers as seen in the Sound of Music, so that at some point I can maybe put on a game where the Germans chase down the incepted and ear piercingly annoying Van Trapp family and silence them once and for all. They will of course keep Julie Andrews alive, but the rest of the family must be silenced!
Points wise this should be 75 points (11 28mm figures x 5 = 55 points, + 20 bonus points for Limbo)

Terrific work on this German squad, Byron. You may have missed the refreshed edition of Bolt Action but you should have them done for the 2nd edition of Chain of Command this upcoming year. I also really like your maniacal axe-wielding shrew(?). If ever there was a shrew in need o taming it may be this chap. I've not heard of the game, but a quick look at their website shows some very cool minis. I very much look forward to seeing you show us more of this range. Lovely work.

That's a very characterful rodent!
ReplyDeleteWell Done! These Germans add to my growing interest for buying the 3rd Ed Bolt Action Starter set. Meanwhile the wee critter with an axe makes me think those animals in the 100 acre wood should put some thought into building a defense based on something more substantial than a few bees and a cranky rabbit!
ReplyDeleteVery effective work on those Germans, but hope they don't come up against that axe wielding rodent!
ReplyDeleteNice work on those Germans Byron
ReplyDeleteWell painted Byron. The Germans are ready for action. Now the Shrew is indeed fierce. I’ve seen the figures on different channels. They are great. I’ll let you continue to entice me with your project and see if I can withstand the need to click.

Nice painting all around. Burrows and badgers has some interesting figures.
